I have a MenuBar setup with YUI's MenuBar widget, and I have a YAHOO.util.KeyListener attached to 'document' to get quick keyboard access to the menus and submenu items (e.g. 's' to open the Setup menu). The problem is that the keylistener will still fire when a user is in an input element. For example, a user might be typing 'soup' in...

I'm trying to create an auto-clicker in Java(only language I know and I just learned Threads). I want to have the applet open in it's own window(not on a webpage), and I want to be able to start and stop the program with the spacebar without the window being selected so that I can use the auto-clicker on another program and be able to st...
I've been searching for a while and everybody seems to think this is not possible using just Java, so I'll give SO a shot ;) Is there any way to have my Java application listen for events (key events in particular) while another unrelated application has window focus?

I'm making a small program in Java using the Robot class. The program takes over the mouse. while in the course of debugging if it starts acting in a way that I don't want it's hard to quit the program, since I can't move the mouse over to the terminate button in eclipse, and I can't use hotkeys to hit it because the mouse is constant cl...

The textarea is being used to input an essay, and needs this feature. Note: I tried using FCKEditor, among others, which did not catch tabs and had a bunch of features I didn't n...
Is there any way to detect which keys are currently pressed using Tkinter? I don't want to have to use extra libraries if possible. I can already detect when keys are pressed, but I want to be able to check at any time what keys are pressed down at the moment. ...
I have created a new YAHOO.util.KeyListener to attach to a specific element and have also created another new YAHOO.util.KeyListener to attach to the entire document. They are both associated with the "enter" key (keys:13). In the handler function for the listener attached to the specific element, I have the following code: ...
I'm trying to make a program like AutoHotKey, but with a graphical interface. I'm using java.awt.Robot Now I want to make the code for checking the state from a key (In AHK: getKeyState) Of course somthing like a KeyListener without having focus.

Hello, I cannot get my JPanel within my JApplet to receive keyboard events. I CANNOT FATHOM why! Note that... Clicking the panel (with mouse) before typing makes no difference. This is by far the most common advice I see given on the Net. I have tried using the 'low-level' java.awt.KeyEventDispatcher interface. That makes no differen...
